The Runner Dudes | Season 2 | Episode 2 | Elizabeth Temple
Episode 33
Friday, 27 February, 2026
In this episode of The Runner Dudes Podcast, Michael and Dusty welcome their first guest of Season 2, Elizabeth Temple, a runner whose story powerfully captures why so many people lace up—not just for fitness, but for survival, healing, and purpose. Elizabeth shares her journey into running, from casual miles and Spartan races to marathon training, run clubs, and qualifying dreams. What starts as a conversation about pace and training quickly opens into deeper territory: mental health, divorce, sobriety-adjacent habits, discipline, faith, and the way running can pull you back from some very dark places. The group talks honestly about compulsive training, learning to slow down, injury scares, and the challenge of finding balance when running becomes your anchor. Elizabeth also opens up about building community through the Crossville running scene, what it’s like to run as a woman, and why accountability—both personal and communal—matters more than perfect splits. This episode is raw, funny, encouraging, and deeply human. Whether you’re chasing a PR, rebuilding your life one mile at a time, or just curious why runners keep showing up, Elizabeth’s story will remind you that running isn’t just about moving your body—it’s about becoming who you’re meant to be.
